Apparatus for placing waves in hair



March 8, 1932. c. s. ACKLEY APPARATUS FOR PLACING WAVES IN HAIR Filed July'30, 1929 INVENTOR Mar/es 5 flaf/e EYE m efli and tube and the heat from the rod forces the moisture out through the hair. The moisture is absorbed by the lining within the sheath and is gradually dissipated through the wall of the sheath which is provided with perforations 36 for this purpose. The coil of hair may be moistened directly, or absorbent material carried by the tube 30 may be moistened, this moisture being forced out wardly from the head of the rod 31.

The form of the invention illustrated in F igs. 3 to 7 inclusive, and 11, is designed particularly for use in placing rolls or pulls in the hair tangent to or flat against the scalp.

In this embodiment, the sheath is provided along aportion of the circumference thereof with suitable heat insulating material, such as asbestos or felt. This material is shown as secured along the longitudinal portions of the sections 21 and 22 adjacent the free edges thereof. One portion of the insulating matcrial is shown at 40 and the other portion at 41.

In order to form a substantially closedoven, each of the sections 20 and 21 is preferably provided adjacent the inner end thereof with a closure plate 37.

The hair is wound on the tube 30 with the tube disposed tangent to the scalp. The heating rod is then placed in the tube and the sheath is then clamped over the tube and rod with the ends of the strand of hairadjacent the scalp extending between the strips 4-0 and 41 of insulating material (see Fig. 11). The insulating material prevents the sheath from engaging the scalp.

In the form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 8, the sections and 51 are not hinged together but are. connected by flanges 52 and 53 formed on the section 50, and flanges 5d and 55 formed on the section v51 and interlocking with the flanges 52 and 53. In order to secure the sections 50 and 51 together, the longitudinal edges of the section 50 are sprung inwardly and placed within the longitudinal edges of the section 51. The pres sure is then released and the flanges on the sections 50 will interlock with the flanges on the section 51. In order to guide the flanges 52 and 53 into interlocking position, the 1011- gitudinal edge portions of the walls of the section 50 are curved outwardly, as shown at 56 and .57. V

The form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 9 is substantially the same as that illustrated in Fig. 7, except that the sheath is oval in section instead of substantially cylindrical. This type of sheath is particularly adapted for use with a marcel waving device, shown at 60 in Fig. 9, and described and covered in Patent No. 1,668,836.

From the foregoing description it will be evident that the sheath or oven constructed in the manner set forth facilitates the inser tion of and removal of the lining material and will effectively retain the heat during the baking of the hair to set the wave therein.

Furthermore, the sheath shown inFigs. 3 to 7 inclusive is particularly adapted for use in forming curls or puffs tangent to the seal Although certain specific embodiments of the invent-ion have been particularly shown and described, it will be understood that the invention is capable of modification and that changes in the construction and in the arrangement of the various cooperating parts may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, as expressed in. the following claims.

WVhat I claim is:

Y 1. An oven device forhair waving. apparatus consisting of .a sheath comprising a plurality of sections having perforated walls, meansforsecuring the sections against separation, and a lining of exposed absorbent material within the perforated walls of said sections.

2. An oven device forhair waving apparatus consisting of a sheath comprising a plurality of sections, means for securing the sections against separation, a lining of absorbent material disposed withinand carried by the sections, and heat insulating means carried by and disposed on the outside of said sheat 3. In combination, a heating rod, an oven device for hair waving apparatus comprising a sheath formed in two sections, means for securing said sections together, and a clip carried by each section and adapted to retain the heating rod in the sheath.

4. A sheathlcomprising a pair ofhingedly connected sections, heat insulating means disposed at the free edges of said sections and along the outer surfaces thereof to protect the scalp from engaging the sheath, and means for securing said edges against separation. i

. 5. A sheath comprising a pair of hingedly connected sections, heat insulating means disposed at the free edges of said sections and along the outer surfaces thereof, and means for securing said edges against separation, said sheath having an exposed lining of absorbent material.

6. In combination, an oven devicefor hair waving apparatus comprising a pair of se'ctions having closure means at one end thereof, means for holding the sections in closed position, and a heating rod adapted to extend into the other end of the device and ,substantially close said end.

7. In combination, an oven device comprising a pair of sections, meansfor securing said sections together, said sections being lined with absorbent material exposed to moisture within said oven device, a heating rod adapted to extend through one end of the device, and means at one end of the device ing said end.

for holding the rod within the device an in spacedrelation thereto.

8. In combination, an oven device comprising a pair of sections,.m'eans for securlng lined with absorbent material exposed to moisture within said oven device, a heating rod adapted to extend through one end of the device, holding the rod within the device an in space relation thereto, end of the oven device for substantially clos- 9. In combination, an oven device comprising a pair of sections, means for securing said sections together, said sections being lined with absorbent material exposed to moisture within said oven device, a heating rod adapted to extend through one end of the device, means at one end of the device for holding the rod Within the device and in spaced relation thereto, means at the other 'i for substantially clos ing said end, and insulating means on the;
